Leemurs provoke centipedes to make them excrete their defensive toxin, but then the lemurs just use that toxin to get high and repel mosquitos.
The word just is doing a lot of heavy lifting there.
Get high and repel mosquitos?
Sign me up!
And dolphins like to kick puffer fish around to get high
This is only a reenactment
First time I laughed out loud today. Thanks! 😀
Thanks for clarifying. At first I mistook it for a photograph.
Puff, puff, pass.
Jaguars actually eat the leaves of b. capii, which acts as a MAOI in the Ayahuasca brew.
While there is some discussion that the harmala alkaloids in b. capii might also be slightly psychoactive in high doses, the actual main compound in Ayahuasca is DMT, which is certainly very psychoactive, but not bioavailable when consumed orally without a MAOI. Unless the jaguars have figured out how to combine the two and/or brew ayahuasca, I strongly doubt that’s their intention and that they’d get comparable effects.
I think the idea stems from the BBC show Weird Nature showing a jaguar eating yage leaves in episode 6, “Peculiar Potions”.
I’m not really sold on how well that content was researched.
Came here for this, I was looking forward to having a Jaguar shaman for my aya ceremony but I guess that’s off now
I remember reading that the Sami people used to drink the piss of a reindeer that had eaten fly agaric/fly amanita mushrooms since even though they’re poisonous, most of the poison gets left in the reindeer while the nice hallucinogenic stuff passes through. Wikipedia put it a bit differently:
Patrick Harding describes the Sami custom of processing the fly agaric through reindeer.
Processing does sound nicer.
I remember reading about this too (cannot remember where exactly. It was a long time ago) and how that practice helped shape the idea of Santa’s flying reindeer.
The ulabis doesn’t really seem to fit the infographic.
Eating opium plants when food is scarce doesn’t really fall under the “drug use” category as it seems like it would have to be done.
The other uses were chosen
opium plants
Do you mean “poppies?”
Aye, poppy
Does it matter, mr. Pedantic?
Naw. Enjoy your hamburger meat animal sandwiches.
Accuracy and pedantry are different.
Enjoy your hamburger meat animal sandwiches.
With bread buns?
Yes, made with pulverized grain wheat flour dust
Lol, if it doesn’t mattet than it’s not accuracy. It is pedantry.
“Ualabis”? Is that supposed to be “wallabies”?
As best I can tell from searching, that’s kind of the Spanish word for “wallabies” (translate gives “ualabies”). Seems like a weird choice.
Meanwhile the Siberian Nomad off to the side waiting for whichever reindeer that gets the shrooms to take a piss 👁️👄👁️
I am not sure if I am scared of a high jaguar or want to pet it. Maybe both?
Jaguar to his buddy: “Dude, I was so baked I let a hairless monkey pet me. I got the munchies though, so I ate him.”
Bees also get drunk. If they try to enter the hive while drunk, they get kicked out to sober up
From what I read they don’t only get kicked out but absolutely mutilated by ripping their limbs off
:(
Whoa jeez, that wasn’t in the documentary I saw but I do see on YT that it happens. Jeez
This is documentary video of animals on the savannah eating fermented marula is great
the hung over warthog is so relateable!
I was going to recommend the movie this is from, “Animals are Beautiful People”! It’s an older Disney produced documentary from the 70s I think. They put a comedic twist on the narraration and add plenty of cartoon sound affects throughout the film
I do not recommend it. Firstly, it’s not a Disney movie. It was made by a white South African in South Africa during apartheid.
A lot of it is just made up and some of it is clearly animal abuse. There’s no question that a weaver bird nest was set on fire for the movie.
The elephant thing isn’t even true. It’s staged with creative editing.

What? No way bats can fly under influence! They are not above the law.
That’s why they fly upwards into international space first, duh.
ualibis
Apparently the Spanish translate Wallaby. TIL
Humans: hold me beer, joint, shrooms, cactus, and chemistry set
Is there a reason we haven’t tried this narcotic fungi?
Shrooms are great, why not try other 'gi?
Humans actually do, but they do it by drinking the reindeer piss after the reindeer have eaten it.
I imagine it’s either there’s a chemical in the new fungi that specifically makes the rams high but not us or there is something in there that doesn’t affect them but is toxic to us
Based on a cursory Google search with the terms “bighorn sheep”+“Psychoactive fungi” it would seem they are referring to rumors of a psychoactive lichen that have not been formally identified.
-secondly, you don’t want to eat Amanita Muscaria aka fly agaric mushrooms unless you have thorough knowledge of what you’re doing. It contains a hepatotoxic compound (hence the deer piss reference in someone else’s comment) -and it should not be confused with the Psilocybin containing mushrooms AKA magic mushrooms. They do different things in the brain—The more you know 🌈 🌟
